[System Requirement]
(1) Windows 95 OSR2.1 or Windows 98 Beta2
#Microsoft Windows 95 OSR2.1
You need use "Usbsupp.exe" from Microsoft to upgrade Win95 OSR2 to OSR2.1.
In order to make sure your system is running on OSR2.1,
You can run "regedit.exe" (included in Microsoft Windows 95) to find the
subkey "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion",
and check if the value of "VersionNumber" is either "4.03.1212"or"4.03.1214".
(2) Install Microsoft DirectX5 version 1.22 or later.
Only DirectX5 or later will enable AGP supports on OSR2.1.
(3) The system BIOS must be most updated(ex:later than Ver07 of SiS BIOS).
[Installation Instructions]
(1) Run program "SETUP.EXE" in the SiS 5591 GART VxD driver floppy and it will
install the SiS VxD Driver or SiS miniport driver automatically onto your
Windows 95 OSR2.1 or Windows 98 system.
[GART VxD FAQ]
Q: How to decide the APSIZE in the system BIOS setting?
A: APSIZE is used by GART VxD to create GART table. Totally there are
(APSIZE/4K) entries and per entry is 4 bytes for a pointer address.
So GARTReserve is limited by the total entries number.
GART VxD uses a magic constant number, 12M bytes, to decide up to
how many system memory can be commited by GARTCommit. That is, if
system memory is 32M bytes, user can commit up to (32M-12M) bytes.
Whereas APSIZE and MaxCommitableSize are two different things. User
maybe successfully reserve 32M bytes non-local memory, but perhaps
can only commit up to 20M bytes. Of course if user reserves too
many or commit too many, either function will return failure to user.
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).

Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
